    Version 5.60.0

    Love the games; the app, not so much. In several games, the size and placement of the grid vs. keypad are awkwardly placed, esp. Wordle, Strands, and Sudoku. The Connections font is disproportionately huge, to the point of cutting off part of some longer words. Overall, the layouts are not nearly as intuitive as the website. I am uninstalling the app and going back to the desktop shortcut to the website. (Playing on 10" and 8" Samsung tablets.)

    This is a great way to exercise the mind. However, I have found there are many days where the words are truly obscure, and/or it boils down to luck. I dislike that aspect because instead of being rewarded for your diverse vocabulary, you're scored based entirely on luck. On top of that, some of the words are just totally out there, and it comes down to a guessing game. It makes the daily challenge, well, unenjoyable. Other than that, it *can* be a really fun daily puzzle.

    New subscriber here! I really enjoy the Spelling Bee game, specifically, and it is the only game I play in the app. Unfortunately, I've only been subscribed for less than 24 hours, and I have already experienced corruption on my save for today's puzzle, and my work disappearing completely. Also, ANOTHER puzzle is just gone. I shared a screenshot of my work with another player, and they questioned the puzzles whereabouts, but now neither of us can locate it, but I have screenshot evidence? 0/10.
